Interlock® Aluminum Roofing — all-climates performance specs for Sweden, Maine
| Spec / Rating | Climate / Risk Factor + What It Solves |
|---|---|
| Wind resistance: 120+ mph (193+ kph) | Extreme wind, hurricanes, storm uplift: full interlocking attachment helps prevent blow-offs, edge lifting, and panel loss in high-gust events. |
| Fire rating: Class A (with proper assembly) | Wildfire, embers, radiant heat, chimney sparks: non-combustible roof assembly provides the highest residential fire protection rating. |
| Hail resistance: UL 2218 Class 4 | Hail and impact debris: highest impact classification; resists cracking, splitting, and surface loss common with asphalt under hail strikes. |
| Snow & ice performance: interlocking, shedding profile | Heavy snow, freeze-thaw, ice dams: smooth aluminum sheds snow efficiently and the interlocking design helps block water intrusion when melt-refreeze cycles occur. (Final snow-load capacity depends on roof structure and local code.) |
| Corrosion resistance: aluminum (won’t rust) | Salt air, coastal humidity, wet climates: aluminum naturally resists rust and corrosion, reducing long-term failure risk in marine or high-moisture environments. |
| Heat / UV durability: baked-on coating system | High heat, intense sun, thermal cycling: coatings resist UV breakdown and temperature-swing fatigue, slowing fading and surface degradation. |
| Moss / algae resistance: smooth coated surface | Wet shade, organic growth: low-porosity metal surface gives moss/algae less to grip, reducing staining and maintenance. |
| Material: heavy-gauge aluminum roof profiles (Slate / Shake / Shingle / Tile / Standing Seam) | All-season structural stability: lightweight, dent-resistant metal system stays stable through large hot-cold swings and severe weather. |
| Expected lifespan: 50+ years | Long-term durability across climates: avoids re-roof cycles typical of shorter-life materials, even in high-stress environments. |
| Warranty: Lifetime-Limited, non-prorated + 50-year transferable | Lifetime protection + resale value: guarantees long-term material confidence and transfers to future owners. |

What our customers are saying:
Our house experiences high wind and exposure to the elements on the Maine coast. Interlock offered competitive pricing on aluminum shingle roofing. The entire experience was good, from quotation, removal of the old roof, and installation of the new roof.
We really like our roof.
Interlock was great, and installation was just as told to us by sales. The crew worked hard, cleaned area each day and roof looks great! I was impressed by their professionalism and also had a call from home office checking during the install and had a visit from a home office inspector checking progress and quality of install.
The roof looks great Jonathan did a great job of explaining the features of the new roof.the crew was great and very professional and did a great clean up after the installation
Our entire experience; inquiry, ordering, installation, and follow up has been excellent. The roof was justifiably costly and definitely worth the investment. The appearance of our house has been greatly enhanced.
Nazar was awesome to fix roof from winter ice damage. !!
Bought this roofing 20 years ago. It was installed well. Needed improvements to my roof structure were suggested and made to ensure the longevity and worthiness of my roof. All these years later I am still happy I made the investment in my 160 year old home.

Interlock was very professional. They installed my roof in a timely manner and the workmanship was great. Glad I went with interlock. Positive: Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, Value Services: Roof damage repair, Roof installation
Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value To Potential Interlock Customer: We intentionally waited almost two years to write a review (roof replaced in August 2019). Replacing a roof (whether asphalt or Interlock) is an expensive project, and we felt it was important to have the perspective of someone who has experience with the Interlock roof for 2 years. Our house is an old colonial built in about 1890. It is almost 3200 square feet with an attic that could be converted to a third floor. We also have an L-shaped wrap-around porch at the front of the house. I am very familiar with the effort it takes to replace a roof, as I have helped re-roof five different houses, including my own. I did this with the help of several friends, putting a layer of asphalt shingles on my house about 20 years ago. However, after 20 years, I had shingles beginning to fail and lost a couple during wind storms. I had a couple of asphalt shingle contractors look at the house for an estimate. One never provided a quote. The second refused the work because my house is 34 feet at the peak, and he felt it was too tall for him to work on. Michael Baldarassi came to our house in June 2019. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable about the construction of old houses and correctly identified that the gable ends would need repair as it was common to not fully extend roof boards to the gable end. He explained the product extremely well, and we were happy to choose the black, " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">slate-looking tiles for our roof. The work team started in the second week of August on a bright sunny, " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">hot week. My roof needed to be stripped to the boards, and I was amazed at how quickly they dealt with the very hot asphalt shingles. It is an extremely hard-working team, and it was to the point that I wanted to tell them to take breaks. Sheets of plywood were carried up to the roof, gable ends were repaired, and several spots needed repair prior to installing the Interlock shingles. They did an excellent installation, along with cleanup and the weather-supported completion in 5 days. We immediately started receiving compliments from townspeople who thought we were having a slate roof put on. The roof definitely adds appeal to our house. Our experience with the Interlock roof has been outstanding. I no longer worry during the strong winds of winter. Having the snow slide off the roof has been a big benefit. Our first snowstorm in December 2019 was 20 inches. It was predicted to be followed by rain four days later. For the past 20 years, I have had to go out onto the wrap-around porch roof to shovel it off so that the 20 inches of snow with rain on it wouldn’t overload the porch. Not with Interlock. The snow had slid off during the snowstorm and before the rain, so no more shovelling the roof. I love not having to stand on a snowy roof shovelling anymore. Having the snow slide off has other benefits. It removed tons of weight from the snow on the roof. That snow weight does nothing good for a house. I used to have minor changes in door fitting, etc., during the winter, but that has stopped because the snow weight on the roof is gone. Additionally, no snow on the roof means no icicles. As one side of my house faces the sun all day, there are winters where if it is 10F and sunny for several days, massive icicles form that weigh hundreds of pounds. These become dangerous when they unexpectedly drop. Icicles do not happen when there is no snow on the roof. Our Interlock roof has been a fantastic choice, and it has added to the value of our house. One day when we sell our house, I have no doubt that our Interlock roof will help to attract a buyer, and the price of the roof will likely be recouped in part or all. What is a big question a potential homebuyer has? - how old is the roof? Being able to answer with a 50-year " data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">warranty that can be transferred to one buyer will bring a lot of weight to the sale. The warranty gives us peace of mind that the roof will never worry us again. Thank you again, Interlock. Service: Roof installation
All of the above...we had a positive experience and live the look of our roof.

Metal Roofing FAQs for Homeowners in Sweden
The following metal roofing FAQs are designed specifically for homeowners in Sweden, Maine. Whether you are building a new home or replacing an existing roof, understanding how roofing materials perform in local weather conditions is essential. From wind and storm protection to fire resistance, hail impact, snow loads, and coastal moisture exposure, Interlock’s Lifetime Aluminum Roofing System is engineered to provide long-term durability, energy efficiency, and peace of mind in Sweden.
How does a metal roof handle Sweden's heavy snow and freeze-thaw cycles?
Metal roofs shed snow faster than asphalt because aluminum conducts and radiates heat, reducing ice dam formation—critical given Sweden's 178 cm annual snowfall and 99 freeze-thaw days per year. The four-way interlocking panels lock together tightly, preventing water infiltration during freeze cycles. Unlike wood shakes that split and curl under repeated freezing, roofing-grade 3105-H24 aluminum simply expands and contracts without damage. The Guardian Warranty explicitly covers cracking and splitting, giving you guaranteed protection through decades of Maine winters.
Why won't my metal roof rust with all the rain and snow in Sweden, Maine?
Aluminum contains no iron—the element that rusts—so corrosion is physically impossible. Instead, aluminum forms a transparent oxide layer that self-heals when scratched, protecting the metal underneath indefinitely. That protection is reinforced by Alunar fluorocarbon coating applied to both sides of every panel, warranted 30 years against degradation. With 934 mm annual rainfall, you need a material that won't deteriorate from constant moisture. The Guardian Warranty covers rusting for the original owner's lifetime, and transfers 50 years to the next owner.
Will a metal roof stay secure in Oxford County wind gusts?
Interlock panels are warranted to resist wind speeds up to 120 mph, and Sweden experiences gusts around 105 km/h—well within that safety margin. The four-way interlocking system locks each panel to its neighbors on all four sides, distributing wind load across the entire roof rather than relying on fasteners alone. Installation to spec ensures panels are mechanically secured at fixed points. This engineering means your roof won't lift, ripple, or separate during the strongest storms this region typically produces.
Can my house handle a metal roof, or do I need structural upgrades?
No structural reinforcement is required. The Slate profile installs at just 0.41 lb/sq ft, and even the Mediterranean Tile—which replicates heavy clay or concrete tile—weighs about 96% less than the real thing at 0.59 lb/sq ft. Most homes can support metal roofing over their existing roof structure without modification. Because the material is so light, installation often happens directly over asphalt or wood shingles, saving the cost and landfill impact of a tear-off. Interlock Metal Roofing (New England) Inc. has assessed thousands of Maine homes since 1999 and will confirm your home's readiness during the site visit.
Will hail damage my metal roof, and can it help lower my insurance?
Your roof has UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance—the highest rating available—and the warranty covers perforation from hailstones up to 1.5 inches. That performance may qualify you for homeowner insurance discounts; contact your agent with the UL 2218 Class 4 specification. Metal roofing has a long track record in hail-prone regions, and aluminum's dent resistance combined with impact rating makes claims rare. In Sweden's climate, hail is occasional rather than chronic, but the Class 4 rating means you're covered at the highest level when it does occur.
How does metal roofing cost compare to asphalt over 20 or 30 years?
Asphalt shingles typically last 15–20 years and require replacement, tear-off, and landfill disposal—recurring costs. Metal roofing installed today should outlast your ownership and transfer to the next owner with 50 years of warranty coverage remaining. Lifecycle math: asphalt replaced twice over 40 years costs roughly 2–3 times more than a single metal installation when labor, disposal, and inflation are included. Current financing offers—no payments or interest until Spring 2027, or 10% off installation—reduce upfront cost. Metal is the last roof you'll install.
Does freeze-thaw weathering damage metal roofing in Maine winters?
Freeze-thaw cycles—Sweden averages 99 per year—damage asphalt (cracking, curling) and wood (splitting, rotting) but not aluminum. Roofing-grade aluminum expands and contracts slightly with temperature swings, returning to its original shape without permanent deformation or micro-fractures. The Alunar coating remains flexible across Maine's temperature range. The Guardian Warranty explicitly covers cracking, curling, splitting, and rotting. After 27 years of installation experience in New England, Interlock Metal Roofing (New England) Inc. has no freeze-thaw failures to report in regions like Sweden.
How much maintenance does a metal roof need in Sweden's wet climate?
Virtually none. Unlike asphalt shingles that require inspection and spot repair, wood shakes that need staining or moss removal, or tile that demands repointing, metal roofing is CALGreen-verified for reduced maintenance. The solid aluminum surface won't rot, split, or harbor moss. Gutters need cleaning as they would with any roof. Snow and 934 mm annual rain clean the Alunar coating naturally. The Guardian Warranty doesn't require maintenance to remain valid. Schedule a visual inspection every 5–10 years if desired, but it's purely optional.
Can metal roofing lower my cooling costs in summer?
energy-efficient colors reflect solar heat that asphalt absorbs, with thermal emissivity up to 0.84 and solar reflectance up to 0.55 (Aged Copper Penny). Sweden's 3049 annual sunshine hours and cool 7.9°C mean temperature suggest summer cooling is modest compared to southern climates, but reflected heat still reduces attic temperature and extends AC life. Metal roofs also release absorbed heat quickly at night, unlike asphalt that radiates it into your home. The Cool Roof Rating Council rating backs this performance. Over a 50-year lifespan, energy savings compound alongside eliminated tear-off costs.
How long does installation take, and will I need a tear-off?
Installation typically takes 3–5 days depending on roof size and complexity. Tear-off is optional: metal panels install directly over asphalt or wood shingles because of their light weight (~0.41–0.59 lb/sq ft), eliminating disposal costs and labor. If tear-off is chosen, panels go down faster afterward. Interlock Metal Roofing (New England) Inc. has installed thousands of roofs since 1999 and provides a clear timeline at consultation. The process is cleaner than asphalt removal and keeps debris off your property, a significant advantage in residential areas.
